Abstract
A core collecting tray for a core blowing machine is provided which forms part of a slide which can reciprocally move longitudinally on tracks through sheaves, be lifted by a hydraulic cylinder that acts on a deck and with the assistance of vertical guides. The tray is adapted to cross travel by a further hydraulic cylinder and is fitted with a clipping template which can in turn travel upwards on additional guides and with the assistance of a third hydraulic cylinder.
Claims2
A core collecting tray, comprising a clipping system for cores;
- a tray positioned below said clipping system and having a supporting surface for supporting cores thereon;
- a fixed bearing frame carrying tracks and having vertical guides;
- and travel means for moving the cores to allow said cores to be centered with an axis of a manipulator shaft, said travel means including a slide for holding said tray, said slide being provided with rotatable sheaves supported on said tracks for longitudinal movement of said slide in a first horizontal direction, a deck positioned on said vertical guides and supporting said slide in an operative position and being detachable from said slide in an inoperative position, a first hydraulic cylinder for a vertical displacement of said deck to vertically displace said slide with said tray towards a core blowing area, and a second hydraulic cylinder positioned horizontally on and across said slide to displace the tray in a second horizontal direction orthogonally of said first horizontal direction, said clipping system including a clipping means for cores collected on the tray to eliminate burrs on edges of the cores.
